And the Russian Air Force, at least as employed in the Ukraine war, is a generation behind the USAF and the IAF.People here who try to compare Iran's war against the U.S and Israel to Ukraine against Russia must not be aware that All of NATO has been backing Ukraine since day 1.
Never say never!Iran does not need Nuclear weapons and will never develop them!
If F-5s and Su-24s managed to bomb the US and return back safely, Su-35 can also do itAnd how long will Iran's Su35s going to get air borned and survive against VLO platforms like F22 and F35? The present of VLO jets like F22 and F35 in terms of quantity and quality will destroy any 4.5 generation air force out there in a heartbeat. Even if Iran had the export downgraded version of the F22, it would not last a few rounds against the domestic non export version F35 of the American airforce. Ukraine was fighting against a banana republic armed with 4.5 generation jets at best, it wasn't facing any VLO platforms like F22 and F35.
Good thing about F5 is that it has some capability to use unpaved runways. Notice the engines are at the sideways far above the ground so Fod blocker engine doors like Mig 29 are not necessary on inlets. An example below shows grass runway landing and take off. Some landing gear modification is necessary too to use these types of runways but main thing is the fod blocker or fod avoidance of jet inlets.
Mig 29 uses a different option with fod blocker door on engine inlets. That is why Ukraine used them on improvised airfields for a very long time after their airbases are bombed by Russia at the beginning of the war.
Both fod blocker doors or upper inlet positions like sideways(F5) or top(stealth drones Valkyrie etc.) are necessary to use unpaved runways which is crucial when facing an enemy having higher stand off weapons advantage. Temporary improvised runways can be built and used continiously increasing the survivability of the aircraft.
These moronic pahlavists don't realise that the old Shah's relationship with Pakistan was better than that of the Islamic regime overall.The complete absence of nuance in these people is mildly amusing.
“For 47 years, Pakistan has aided the IRGC.” Does this baby-faced twink know that Pakistan’s relationship with the IRGC and the broader Islamic Republic has ebbed and flowed—from mild belligerence to a lukewarm, reluctant embrace? Even accounting for the current, nascent improvement in relations, there’s an argument to be made that they still have not reached the level of our ties under the Shah, who actually helped us in our 1965 and 1971 wars with India.
We have also occasionally had to bear the brunt of the export of Iran’s sectarian conflicts. If Pakistan were the foremost backer of Iran right now, we wouldn’t be this gucci(comfortable) with the United States and the GCC (barring the Emiratis, of course, who are a unique specimen unto themselves).
I also recall a conversation with a Pahlavist on this forum before this war began who was similarly obsessed with Pakistan. Not taking any names, as I’m not interested in getting into a “tu-tu main-main” contest, there are already too many of those going on here already.
Usa produces more oil then it needs but some states like California import soecial blends of fuel while import from canada due to proximityOnce we've graduated from kindergarten it will be easier to understand why the US imports around 7 million b/d.

Yup.People here who try to compare Iran's war against the U.S and Israel to Ukraine against Russia must not be aware that All of NATO has been backing Ukraine since day 1.

I hope the guy who taunts Indian protesters comes out and taunts them too, or better yet, Khawaja comes out.
